Wow, the ignorance there is breathtaking. This list itself is immoral, and so you're hearing it from a liberal. The immorality above is nothing if not immoral. I think this list is a epic disaster.

Thank God for this article!

I completely enjoyed your article, sir. I don't mean to offend anyone but I would like to say that it is absolutley impossible to speak truth to a liberal. They are completely absent-minded people in the "Gospel Truth" way. Sometimes it is amusing to have a debate with them about a moral issue.
I don't see how a human being can be so.....clueless as a liberal.
Lastly, I would like to say thank you for this wonderful post.

Since you use logic in your post, think of this.
If there is no God and you live by Christian principles, when you die you have lost nothing.
If there is a God and you live a sinful life, you lose eternal life.
It seems to me that the objection liberals have with Christian principles is that it is so limiting. It forbids abortion, deviant sexual practices, drunkenness, drug abuse and misbehavior in general. Yep, there are people who wear the label of Christian who are not. We all know that.

You are absolutely right. I was going to add the same scripture verses you did. Somewhere I read something like "what does light have to do with darkness"? Non-Christians don't see the light until God opens their eyes. A Christian "sees" the truth and does not look the other way. Non-believers abhor the truth and feel that "anything goes". They don't want to answer to any higher authority. It's hard for me to believe that any liberals can be real Christians because they are against everything in the Bible. They don't even know what's in the Bible. They are not interested in knowing anything. The do not have the "hunger" to know anything about Jesus Christ. They are repelled by Christians, just like a vampire is adverse to light and the cross. This is why they hate Sarah Palin so much. She is a born-again believer; she had hands laid on her when she became governor of Alaska. There were pics of this "blessing" and she was ridiculed and mocked and belittled and they said she was stupid. But God is not mocked, she will be blessed and the mockers will be punished. Just watch and see!!

The reason liberals (any atheist) hate christianity is because it's foundations are flawed and its followers are blind to logic
1) The omnipotent god cannot exist. To be omnipotent he must have the power to give up all power; therefore gods power can be limited and by definiton he is not omnipotent. Paradoxically if he doesn't have the power to do this, then he never was omnipotent in the first place
2) The only way god can be all knowing is if he is bound by fate, without fate he cannot be certain of the future. If he is bound by fate then he cannot have free will.
3) If free will exists in heaven, and evil is a product of free will then in heaven it is possible to do evil. the only way to eliminate evil in heaven is to eliminate free will.
4) The more complicated something is, the less likely it is to occur naturally. God must be the most complicated occurance in the universe, therefore is also the least likely to occur. In short God has the highest probablility of not existing out of all the things that could possibly exist. If god is not the most complicated thing in the universe, there must be something outside his comprehension.

This is the Crux of the matter

The problem in your assertion is that we must first define what "inclusiveness" means. Let me give you an analogy. A man has a deadly but curable disease. He goes to a hospital where they tell him his disease is highly contagious and he needs to be treated before they can let him back into the community. The man becomes angry and says, "Those doctors and that community is so intolerant of me, how dare they discriminate! I should be allowed to be a part of them!"
If you mean that Christians are not "inclusive" to people who do not need or want a doctor (see Matthew 9:12), then no, Christians can not help those people. But if you mean anyone who admits they need God, or is even curious about God, then of course true Christians do not discriminate on the basis of sex, national origin or religion. The Bible says, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28, NASB)
Furthermore, it appears to me that most of the world thinks that man is basically "good" or "pretty good" or maybe even with some work, "rehabilitative." We think more education, more therapy, more government, more books, more police, more .... (fill in blank) will solve our problems. Do not misunderstand, I am not against such action at all, however, if we are honest with ourselves, none of these actions have really solved anything. They just tend to be band-aids on a more fundamental problem.
That problem is that man is not basically good, he is basically evil. The truth is that man is incapable and unqualified to change his basic nature. Humankind has a total inability to do good and rescue it's own self from it's bent towards evil. Left to his/her own design, we more times than not, make the wrong choice.
Dr. John R.W. Stott, the reknowned Anglican preacher in England expressed this idea very well when he stated:
"Many of the happenings of civilized society would not exist if it were not for human sin. A promise is not enough, we need a contract; doors are not enough, we have to lock and bolt them; the payment of fares is not enough, we have to be issued with tickets which are punched, inspected and collected. Law and order are not enough, we need the police to enforce them. All these things and many others to which we have grown accustomed, that we have taken them for granted are due to our sin. We can not trust each other; we need protection from one another; it is a sorry state of affairs."
The fact is that there ARE moral absolutes but most liberals live in a world of moral relativism. When confronted with the truth of our evil, most tend to ignore the information, justify their own behavior or condemn the messenger. Just because imperfect Christians bring the truth of moral absolutes, does not make the message untrue.
You personally, may think you are pretty good and do not need anything but your own common sense and strong will to get you by in this world. Maybe it all makes sense to you now and you have it all figured out. And I would guess you certainly would not admit you "need" anybody or anything- that would be too "weak."
However, until life humbles you and brings you to your knees, you will never understand the Gospel of Grace to the sinner who cries out for help. Until you know your failed attempts at meaning and purpose and inability to really deal with your own hopes, failures and fears, for you my friend, we can not offer you anything and God can not help you.
We all need a Savior to save us from ourselves whether you realize this now or later.
Most liberals think the problem is the wrong type of/not enough program(s), narrow attitude, not enough "tolerance"- and the solution is government. Christians know the problem is sin, our rebellion towards God, making our own desires our own god- and we admit we desperately need Jesus.

Why Liberals Hate Christians.

I don't believe liberals hate Christians but are deeply offended by "Christian" behavior and exclusivity. That is a person is hard pressed to find a Christian group that accepts all people regardless of race, religion, sex, or creed. This is because Christianity is a religion that falls into the Literal-Mythic category. It is a tribal mentality. Christians feel a sense of belonging and being part of the "in" group. Christians do not realize how their unconscious behavior is oppressive to non Christians. Their attempts to hijack politics in America, the way they demonize and label people like this article is doing in labeling progressives as "liberals", the fear shame an d idiocy that they project...its all based upon their weak personalities that must rely on a mythical savior god for forgiveness and other universal human values. On top of it...most Christians are uneducated. This is evidence that they believe their relative mythic-literal viewpoint is the absolute truth when it is in fact misguided, ignorant, and not supported by historical facts. The people that crashed the planes into the twin towers on 9/11 had a similar mindset. Such a mindset is dangerous and is a cancer and crime against humanity. Your god is too small folks.

I am a quote "liberal" and I love Christ. So there.
My problem is when people uses their beliefs as justification for action eg war etc. God gave us all free-will and our own brains to use for His good.
This hate of "left vs. right" or "right vs left" is what is tearing us apart as a nation and I'm sure God isn't all that pleased about it either.
Believe in what you want and stop picking fights.
Peace and love,

You guys really believe this kind of stuff, don't you? If everyone agreed that stealing was contrary to health and happiness, then no one would steal. That is the problem. What makes some people healthy and happy is to deprive others of their health and happiness. And according to you, this is permitted. A legitimate exercise of autonomy. Scary, aren't you.

What one desires for a happy, healthy life is different than from what is permissible. We’ve been over this issue before and you still don’t get it. Stealing is permissible but everyone believes that, individually and collectively, life is healthier and more desirable when people don’t steal from each other. We prohibit people from stealing but it is permissible in the sense that we are free autonomous beings. It is not irrational to “lobby” for a more a happier and healthy situation in life. Not caught.

I didn't get it because that is not what you said. If God does not exist, all things are permissible was my argument. Your response was that all things are permissible. Therefore, everything Christians do, say, and think is permissible. If it is permitted, there can be no moral complaint against it. Yet you complain. Your complaints are irrational. Caught.

Whether god exists or not, all things are permissible. Should people be more Christ-like? I guess that would depend on what "Christ-like" is. In general, Christians have such a bad track record at it and atheists are just as likely to be as Christ-like as the Christians who are. So what is is point of distinction? You are just as likely to see a atheist volunteering in a soup kitchen or giving malaria shots in Africa as you would a Christian, but those killing waging war today tend to have a very special belief in god that you will not find in the atheist.

You identify legitimate and serious problems. What I do not understand is your solution of "detest all religions, especially Christianity". Seems to me that when Christians act badly, the solution should be for them to act more Christ like, not less Christ like. I do not understand how acting less like Jesus is suppose to remedy the problems of the world. I especially do not understand how thinking and acting like atheists is suppose to solve the problems of the world. After all, if there is no God, all things are permissable. This strikes me as being the root of the problem, not the solution.

To 45, AR. I get what you’re saying. But by no means do I think that all Christians are bad. If fact they do a lot of really great things. The essays on this site are constantly bashing Rick Warren, but he is doing so much to help fight AIDS and poverty. Yes, I'm down with the liberal Christians—Jim Wallis and the like. But unfortunately their moderate stance gives validation to people like Jan Markel or Osama bin Laden even. Yes, currently Muslim fundamentalists are by far worse than their Christian counterparts, but this is because of the side of history the west has found itself on. Things were not always like this and can always turn the other way. Sure, atheist kill people by they don't kill in the name of atheism, Stalin didn't kill because he didn't believe there was a god, he killed because he believed so strongly in his vision of communism and his ego. Same with Hitler, he killed because he hated Jews and loved Nazism. A Christian or a Muslim will kill if they feel god is calling them to do so. This is a very scary thought. Bush said that god told him to attack Iraq--how many dead now? 65000 plus. Who is doing more harm in the name of god? Suicide bombers or Bush? Whether god told him to do this or not is beside the point. The point is our society respects religious belief to the point one can say destructive things like this with immunity. Had he said that he attacked Iraq because Yoda told him to, he would be impeached already. It is clear to me that all religions are man made so any motivating reason for doing something is ultimately cultivated by human concepts—Christianity, Democracy, whatever. But Christianity is a human concept that speaks as if it were god. This sets it apart from other flavors of ice cream and can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Though different, Hitler—also a human, spoke and acted as if he were a god. There are many destructive ideas out there. Without religions there would be just that many less excuses for war. Take a look at the Israeli occupation; if religion were taken out of the equation, there would be a possible sensible solution in sight. With it, there is none. This type of situation is spreading across the globe. This is why I detest religion. Otherwise I could care less.
